What initials shouldn't be used?

[CuppaTeaJanice]

There's plenty of initials that are generally thought of as a no-no - CUM, COK, KKK, FUK, TIT etc., etc.....

...but what about the following.....

Toilet-themed, eg. BOG, LAV, WC etc?

Political, eg. BNP?

Animals, eg. PIG, COW, HOG etc?

Other body parts, eg. BUM?

Would any of the above initials put you off choosing a name that you love for your DC? And what other initials would you avoid?

[BONKERZ]

my initials before getting married were SLEEP

[TinTerNetTigger]

Wanted to call my son Brandon James, but the initals BJ changed my mind!!! had to fit another name inbetween

[TinTerNetTigger]

Although my daughter is P.E.A

[dizzydixies]

S.E.X?

although DD2 is ARCD which said quickly sounds like arsed

[findtheriver]

TinTerNet - we had friends whose son had Christian names beginning with B and J and they actually called him BJ as a nickname! DH and I used to piss ourselves (silently off course)

[Olihan]

DH was desperate to call out ds Timothy William Anthony

Our surname begins with T.......

[Olihan]

Stephen Henry Ian was another suggestion.

I put my foot down at Cynthia Ursula Natasha .

[dizzydixies]

I LOVED the name Violet but just couldn't bring myself to do it as our surname begins with a D

I'll always remmeber my friend coming into school one day and annoucning her mum had her baby girl and what she was called. She couldn't understand me rolling around with laughter till I pointed out the baby's initials spelled GOB! They were a lovely family but yes by their own admission they were a loud family. The next day she told me her mum had swapped the first names around. Still makes me smile

My cousin was going to be SAD but my grandfather said that was too horrible for a small baby so an extra name was added.

I always used to chuckle at my friend who had her initials ET embroidered on her pe kit at school... but it was the early 80s and I was young

[LaDiDaDi]

We actively avoided LEG and CIG when naming dd.

We got LIG instead.

If I'd been a boy I'd have spelled R A T.

I teach a VD, but oddly no kid ever mentions it. Maybe STI would be worse now?

Dh initials are RC, and he is quite arsey.

Bum, clicked twice. Curse this slow boadband connection.

[QwertyQueen]

my DH's initials are PMS!

about right.

[kittenloren]

My friend's ex is an S.T.D. You'd think his mother would have cottoned on and added an extra middle name, especially as she's a V.D. herself.

[LunarSea]

dh is R.A.W.

[babysoon1]

do you think POJ is ok?

[Buda]

DH was almost ARS. He is now AMS.

[BroccoliSpears]

I don't think it's worth getting too worked up about. My initials aren't amusing until I married dh when I became KY. Except I didn't because I didn't take his name.

My mum was PIN, married my dad and became PIG.

[BroccoliSpears]

My brother is RC Smith. We call him Arsey Smith.

[pagwatch]

my brother was CPAP and by the time he left school he didn't have a single item labelled where the downstroke had not been added to the first P....
